The death penalty is certainly as controversial in China as it is in many countries around the world. Some say "a life for a life" has been an integral part of the country's judiciary culture for thousands of years. But others argue the death penalty is outdated in the context of our modern society.

The problem with China is not that it has a death penalty; death is the proper sentence for anyone who commits a murder. In China, however, a person can be executed for embezzlement, drug trafficking, or for official corruption. No proportionality.
